I am guessing this: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/plpgsql-implementation.html " A disadvantage is that errors in a specific expression or command cannot be detected until that part of the function is reached in execution. (Trivial syntax errors will be detected during the initial parsing pass, but anything deeper will not be detected until execution.)" ROLLBACK might actually be valid at some point, ELEPHANT will not so it caught in the trivial error stage. > > On Mon, Oct 31, 2016 at 3:55 PM, Michael Moore <michaeljmoore@gmail.com > <mailto:michaeljmoore@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Cool, thanks David, I'll give it a read. > > > On Mon, Oct 31, 2016 at 3:24 PM, David G.
